Unknown Owner

A set of four beautifully coloured and gemmy Elbaite Tourmaline crystals from Barra do Salinas, in the Jequitinhonha Valley of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Two of the electric lime-green crystals form two parts of the same crystal which fit together perfectly. Individually they measure 3.9 x 1.0 x 0.5 cm and 2.2 x 1.0 x 0.5 cm and when set against one another form a 6.1 cm long crystal. Another Elbaite of the same colour measures 4.6 x 0.9 x 0.7 cm. The fourth crystal, in delicate shades of pink with a subtle leaf-green tip, measures 3.0 x 0.7 x 0.6 cm. A stunning set of gemmy Elbaite Tourmalines from Barra do Salinas in Brazil.
